Kimichi School

Kimichi is a very special place, we still can't quite believe we found it. Put simply it has transformed our son's understanding of what learning is all about. He is so much happier and loves the range of subjects taught, the democratic nature of the school and the collective responsibility they have to ensure the school is tidy and organised - everyone plays their part.
